THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22,1964 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PACE SEVEN THEDY CTBR2,194Tl ICIA ALYPG-EE Americans Pad Lead in Olympic TOKYO OP)-Russia was expect- ed to cut heavily into the Ameri- can medal lead last night as judo and gymnastics began to take over at the Olympics after the final track and field program led to two American gold medals and a second disappointment in four years for high jumper John Thomas. Bob Hayes of Jacksonville, Fla., and Henry Carr of Detroit an- chored relays to world record- shattering victories yesterday and five swift skippers in yachting helped swell the U.S. medal total to 86-the highest American level in four Olympics since the Soviet Union entered competition. There were other outstanding performances, in addition to the American victories. New Zealand's Peter Snell became the only gold medal winner in two individual track events by winning the 1,500- meter run and Abebe Bikila of Ethiopia became the 'first athlete ever to win two Olympic mara- thons. Return Match But it was Thomas, battling Russia's Valery Brumel as night fell in National Stadium, who be- came the major focus of interest for the U.S. track team as he tried to make up for his upset loss to the Soviets at the 1960 Rome Games. As the hours passed, all the others fell out of the competition and only Brumel, the current world record-holder, and Thomas were left. Thomas, however, had one miss at 7' 1" while Brumel had cleared the height on his first attempt. Both made it clear at 7' 1'," and then suddenly Thomas was left with one leap-win or lose. Brumel had failed on his three attempts at 7' 2%", while Thomas missed on his first two. As Thomas rumbled toward the bar on his ords are not official for the classic third try he had an opportunity to 26-mile, 385-yard route since con- win by going over, or lose on ditions vary but no one has ever the basis of misses by failing to run a marathon faster than clear.

U.S. Basketball Team Plays Russians in Olympic Finals TOKYO RP)--The United States' never-beaten Olympic basketball team has only one more hurdle to clear for its sixth straight cham- pionship. But Lou Rossini, for one, thinks they may not make it. Rossini, the NYU coach who was loaned out to coach Puerto Rico's Olympic squad, watched h i s charges take a 24-23 halftime lead: over the'Americans before falling 62-42 in the semifinals last night. The victory, the United States' eighth straight in these Olympic Games and 46th straight since the sport was introduced to the Games in 1936, put the U.S. into the finals against Russia. Weaker Material "The team has definite limita- tions in material," Rossini said.' "I don't think they can win if they find themselves behind, be- cause I don't think a pressure de- fense would affect the Russians. "The team also leaves something to be desired in outside shooting ability," Rossini continued. "The Russians have plenty of experience and are strong on both ends of the court." Strack's Comment All of which brings one back to a quip by Michigan's basketball coach Dave Strack, when he said that an all-star Big Ten basket- ball team could give the Olympic squad a good game. The final-the fourth straight time the U.S. and Russia have met for the championship-was set up when the unbeaten Rus- sians edged Brazil, the 1963 world champions, 53-47 in the other semifinal. The title match is scheduled for tomorrow night (Tokyo time). Aggressiveness Surprises The United States, surprised by the aggressiveness of the smaller Puerto Ricans, trailed by one point at the end of the slow-moving first half, then out-scored the Puerto Ricans 22-5 in the opening min- utes of the second half and put it out of reach. Princeton's Bill Bradley led the attack with 16 points and Jerry Shipp of Bartlesville, Okla., had 14. SALE Gamesfl Harris of Detroit was outpointed by Poland's Jozef Grudzien. They, however, added to the U.S. medal total as all closing semifinalists are given bronze medals. The situation is the same in judo, where Jim Bregman of Arlington, Va., won a bronze in the middleweight division under the same circumstances. Russia, meanwhile, earned two bronzes in boxing and picked up its other medals in gymnastics, winning the women's team title while Iarisa Latynia and Polina Astakhova finished second and third behind Czechoslovakia's Vera Caslavska in the women's indi- vidual all-around competition. Other gold medal-winners in- clude: Judo-Middleweight Isao Okano of Japan; Cycling-Italy in tandem and 4 Germany in team pursuit. _ WHITE. LEVI'S AVAILABLE AT KLINE'S 306 S.
